They are facilitators. If Google weren't so money hungry these kind of results wouldn't rank high enough to be discovered. They should probably continuously get fined until they alter their behavior.
I don't follow what this has to do with money hunger. Is your contention that Google profits somehow from having these images be higher rather than lower in search results? Why would that be more profitable?
What should they be getting fined for? Ranking individual links according to some generic algorithm? Is there a law specifying what algorithms may be or not be used for individual or types of links?
Fwiw, I agree w you. I think business incentives are sometimes misaligned w what is holistically good for a society. Just because what is good for society cannot be clearly defined, all effort to do so must not be given up. For instance Laws punishing google when ranking CP high will def bring a change in Google's attitude towards dealing with this stuff.
